Tornadoes Hit The Barking Legs Family

  • Wednesday, April 15, 2020

The Ortiz family is the cleaning service that keeps Barking Legs Theater in such great shape for its countless shows and events, and their home was destroyed by the tornado. The Barking Legs Wednesday and Friday online events will not be held this week as symbols of how important the work done behind the scenes is to keep us doing what we do, said officials.

Juan Gonzalez, a big supporter and a familiar face at Barking Legs (often with his lovely wife, Amada) had his home and cars destroyed by the storm.

On top of the ongoing pandemic, the destructive weather was too much.

Barking Legs will be back online Saturday as one of the hosts of a concert being streamed live from Miami. DJ Le Spam heads up the Spam All Stars. He's teaming up with Electric Kif for a live stream at 7 p.m. It should be accessible through the Barking Legs Facebook page. Learn more here

To participate/perform in either Wednesday Jazz Online or The Virtual Floor, just contact via info@barkinglegs.org. They'll return next week.

The Barking Legs online events are most reliably accessed through the Barking Legs Facebook page.
